INTRODUCTION
This guide is for Ivan's 5.0 Lollipop AOSP ROM but will work with other ROMs as well.
FEATURES
Pure AOSP feel.
Many people prefer it, including me.
Workaround for 'hardware key wakeup' bug.
Can use Lollipop features like Screen Pinning easily.
Looks cool
PREREQUISITES
Ivan's Lollipop AOSP ROM.(May work on others too)
MI3.(Again may work on others too)
Root.
ES File Explorer.(or any file manager with root access)
INSTRUCTIONS
Enabling on-screen nav bar.
Open ES File Explorer and grant su access.
Go to system and open build.prop with ES Note Editor and add this line in the end:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save build.prop and reboot.
Check if soft keys are enabled.
If enabled successfully, proceed to next section.
Disabling hardware capacitive keys.
Go to system/usr/keylayout and open 'atmel-maxtouch.kl' with ES Note Editor.
In the end of that file there will be following three lines:
Code:
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Add a '#' before each line so it would look like this:
Code:
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
#key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Save the file and exit.
Disabling capacitive key lights.
Download Capacitive Buttons app from Play Store.
Open it and grant su access.
Select the first option i.e no brightness.
Reboot
DONE
working great!! thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for this guide. Successfully disabled capacitive buttons and added navigation bar.
Welcome mates, @moly82 you have set 420 dpi?
400
How to reduce height of nav bar? I don't want to change dpi but the nav bar is too high.
Edit: Fxied.!
Thx for this mate.
I am unable to boot the system after enabling on-screen nav bar by editing build.prop...... Shows starting MI logo and then a blues flash and again restart. It goes into this loop.
As soon as I remove that "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" from it, system is botting

For that you need to edit the jar files in framework, you can find a guide for that on xda. I could have done that myself but my exams are gonna start in a few days, and moreover I'm sick. ?

Hi,
I used ES File Explorer first to edit on phone and then rebooted. Phone didn't start so then I went into CWM recocry, pulled file by adb on my desktop, removed the line which I had inserted and then pushed file back to system. Gave 644 permission and rebooted. Device worked this time.
Lemme know if there is any other way. One thing I cld try is edit the file on desk and push through ADB. Earlier I had inserted required line with ES Explorer and editor.
Thanks in advanced.

Yea do try that and report, I think the ES method is messing with the build.prop permissions somehow!
i used ES with no problems at all!
Same here, I too used ES without any issue, but I have faced certain problems with ES regarding saving system level files i edited and problems with proper permissions in the past.

Yup... It worked by this method. Flawless.
Enjoying lollipop to the fullest now. You guys are fantastic. Thx.
I've been using ES for this for over a year now...no problems...
Maybe a typo was at fault?

I guess the issue was with saving the file. May I know how you saved the edited build.prop file in ES Note Editor?
I would like to know this so that I would update that info in the thread, so that in future users can be more careful.
It worked great for me! Thank you!
Will there be a way to make the navbar transparant instead of black?
Thanks in advanced!

There might be by editing some png in framework-res.apk but I am not sure about which png file needs to be edited.
Although I can assure you that transparent nav-bar will only annoy you!

Good news.
Since i've a fully modded the theme and some system apps.
So im gonna call it rom now. With the feels of sony android it self.
Suits with the name, sony blues.
The bad news.
I cant cook the rom into update.zp so it can be flash with xrecovery.
My 1tb primary hd dead after hearing kreeeeeeck sound while doing some anime encoding this morning. I believe it can still be access as secondary.
And my u20i the only one can save my pc. How? By selling it of course.

Accept bar? and you can change the position of the power widgets, nothing else!
I'm sorry, i made a mistake. I want to modify the position of icons in xml files to move them a little because i don't like the position of the blue bar of each icon. When I translate to spanish, it crosses the text.

But i don't know what xml file is the correct.

Hello,
First of all thanks for the info, i have used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352993, until i discovered this topic and try this one.
My phone is a Neo V and it works very well.
In your first post, where you explain the steps to follow in the process, i think you must exchange steps 5 and 6 and also modify just a bit steps 4 and 5(wich must be 6).
I mean:
-Step 4: Copy SystemUI.apk from SDCard, go to /system and mount it R/W (not /system/app because in /system there is no SystemUI.apk to replace), paste the file here.
-Step 5:Change permissions to rw-r--r-- just as you explained in your 6th step.
-Step 6:Copy the file from /system, paste it in /system/app and confirm the replacement and reboot.
Following this order you don't get into troubles like me.
Because if you replace the file before changing permissions you will get stuck in a endless looping dialog telling anything about an error, clicking ok and again getting the same dialog in less than a second. I finally get out pressing power button to show 'shutdown dialog' wich also was totally covered under the annoying looping dialog, i just started taping as fast as i could, until fortunatelly one of my 'taps' hit de shutdown option between the dissappearing and the appearing of the 'loopy error dialog'. After powering on again it just get missing the notifications bar, i went with RootExplorer to /system/app, finally change permissions and reboot again and... just fixed it.
Hope i helped.(and well... i'm not a native english speaker)
Salut.

Hi all. Searched this and did not find an answer.
Jellybean natively has Toggles on the Notification Bar.
Instead of using the built-in toggles from Beans ROM, I prefer to use Widgetsoid because it offers additional toggle button options that are not otherwise available (example: toggle for "Keep screen on when device is plugged in", etc).
ROM: Beans ROM Build 16
Issue: When I disable the built-in JB toggles (Settings/Custom Settings/Toggle Settings/Widget buttons/ then deselect all options), there is a blank space left where the toggles would normally be (see pic below).
Question: How can I disable the JB built-in toggles completely so that it doesn't show this empty space?

use Root Explorer to remove the toggle app. Reboot and you should have no more missing space.

Removing "lithroid-res.apk" and "lithroid-res.bak" from system/framework/ prevented device from booting.
If there is any error in what I did below I can try it again.
What I did:
- I used Root Explorer to make a .zip backup of "lithroid-res.apk" and "lithroid-res.bak" (left backup file "lithroid toggle.zip" in system/framework/)
- Used Root Explorer to delete "lithroid-res.apk" and "lithroid-res.bak" from /system/framework
- 5 seconds later system hung (unresponsive to power button being pressed for 15 seconds, so had to do a battery pull).
- Pulled battery and re-inserted to reboot.
- Boot animation came up, but device froze after that.
- Didn't feel like restoring full TWRP backup, so I booted to TWRP, and used ADB to move my backups of "lithroid-res.apk" and "lithroid-res.bak" back to system/framework (I suppose I could have used TWRP File Manager, but ADB is just as easy).
- System booted fine.
Questions:
1) Could the use of a space in the filename for the "lithroid toggle.zip" file in system/framework cause a boot issue?
2) Any other ideas how to remove the toggle bar from the status drop down?

Ya I was sure it wasn't that easy I was just telling you what files dragonstalker was talking about (by the way the stock toggles are built into framework so no apk to delete).
Now how you really need to do it is decompile lithdroid apk and set the height to 0. I don't recall the xml that's in, but I'll see if I can find it.

Decompiling the apk is outside of my current skill set.
Anyone have a favorite "decompile 101" guide that would teach me how to do this?

I know this is an older thread, but wondering if you found an answer to disabling the toggles all together. I have been looking for the same thing and keep coming up empty. Haven't tried the decompiling method, may be the only resolution.

I have not found any way to disable the toggles altogether.
Here is an easy solution/fix for those who wish to use AdAway v2.8 but end up getting stuck on the final step to enabling ad blocking, "Applying hosts file".
If you are trying to enable AdAway but are stuck on "Applying hosts file" as seen in the screenshot below, then please follow these very simple instructions.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. Download a root explorer. I prefer using Root Explorer because I think its the best file explorer on the android market. If you have problems with purchasing apps you can always use the free version Explorer, or if you prefer using another file explorer that's fine, just make sure it has root access enabled.
2. Once you have a file explorer installed that has root access enabled, navigate to "system/etc" and find the file labeled "hosts" as seen in the screenshot below.
3. Hold down/select the file labeled "hosts" and select "permissions" from the selection as seen in the screenshot below.
4. After selecting permissions a window should have popped up where you can change the permissions of the file as seen in the screenshot below.
4. Change the permissions of the hosts file to "rw-rw-rw" just like in the screenshot below. Hit "OK" to apply the permission changes and close the file explorer completely and head back over to AdAway.
5. Once you have AdAway back open, click "Download files and apply ad blocking" and try again. Depending on your internet connection it shouldn't take very long, but you should see something like this, hit "Yes".
6. After your phone has rebooted, open AdAway again and you should see something like this saying newest hosts files enabled.
Congratulations, AdAway is now working and ad blocking is enabled!
Thanks man, it worked great
Cheers for the post, was getting this issue on ASOB 1.3.2 rom & it was starting to get annoying, sometimes it would apply the HOSTS file after a reboot, other times it wouldn't
Thanks, this works for me too !
Thanks...Seems Adaway randomly breaks this permission.
Worked perfect thanks
The reason AdAway does that on newer android versions (some 4.3 roms and most all 4.4) is because of SELinux. If you change it to permissive, the Hosts file applies perfectly. Do so at your own risk, but I can't stand having it on my phone. Blocks too many fun things.

I just got a new app that I have to use every day and it places ads right above the keyboard. Was definitely not going to deal with that **** every day it was really distracting.

That's ridiculous. Not that you have to use the app, of course, but wtf...on top of the keyboard? Do they have a donate version that is ad-free at least? Not everyone has the option to root and disable them. What app is it?

It's not on TOP of the keyboard but directly above it. So when you're entering text input and trying to read what you wrote there's a blaring ad right below your text.
Incredibly obnoxious. The app is called "Awoken" and it's when you make a new entry in the dream journal: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucid_dreaming.awoken

Ah ok. Well, at least you can opt out of them buy purchasing the premium version of it. I'd probably just do the AdAway option too, but the premium version does have the dark theme which would probably make it worth it to me. I much prefer white text on black backgrounds.
What also works for me is the same steps but just change to read-write and then apply adaway

Still having problems - you can try this
Had the same issue on my HTC Desire running 4.4.2 OmniRom by Spezi77
I followed all the steps outlined in the OP, but still Adaway was stuck while applying the host file
Finally, managed to get it to work by disabling the toast notification for Adaway in SuperSU.
The original solution has been posted here (towards the end)
On step 3: Using Explorer, I don't have a Permissions option when I select my hosts file. I also couldn't find an alternative File Manager with that option and I can't figure out why it isn't available for myself.
I know I'm probably missing something obvious here. Any ideas?
I installed root explorer -free version just to reprodcue your problem. Yes, I get the same on step 3 - it only shows the properties of the host file. I think this is partly because the program does not ask for root permissions. With SuperSu i couldn't manually grant root permissions to it.
I would suggest you to use "ES file explorer" instead. When you open this program, access the left menu. Open tools and scroll down to find root explorer option. Now in the app click on the button next to it to switch it on. The program will now ask for root permissions from your super user program. Grant there rights. Then you have to click on the word root explorer and you will get a popup menu. In this menu you have to next to the /system select RW option. This will allow you to make changes to system.
Now close this left menu, and navigate to the hosts file and set the permissions. When you long press on the file you will get similar options as listed in the original post.
You can switch off the root explorer option when you are done.

Still hangs on parsing and merging .....
Thank you! :good:
That has resolved the problem, that Adaway was not able to update the Host File.
Hey everyone, I tried the instructions here using both Root Explorer and ES Explorer but similar message on both explorers.
On Root Explorer "Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes
On ES Explorer "Sorry, operation failed."
Can anyone shed some light on these errors for me please. Thank you.
N.B. I am using the Huawei Y330
This is the split window feature for LG-L9-II from G pro 2 (its working better than G3 in our phone)
This is for stock rom kitkat v20b ONLY
[Do NOT use it with other phone/version - modifies telephony-common.jar/odex and com.lge.frameworks.jar/odex]
If you want to try it with other phone/version, create a installable CWM zip file with the 4 files above, from your phone, so you can restore it in case something go wrong.

Open browser, go to Favorites, tap and hold a favorite page and select "Add to home/start screen" (or something).
[In other words, add a short-cut to a page at home screen]
Tap on the short-cut. You must see it in split window.
If yes, as I said, in order to see the pop-up window tap and hold back key just a little longer than a normal tap.
If not, its not working [I don't think so - must work on v20a too]

Ok, perhaps is this:
With an root editor, add the following two lines to your build.prop (located at /system folder)
ro.lge.capp_splitwindow=true
persist.splitwindow.support_all=true
reboot

This might be a little off topic but is it possible to add custom fonts to the settings>display>font menu? I mean is there a xml file which stores the necessary paths for fonts? You can install fonts from SmartWorld so there must be a way to do this .

Ok, I think I found it. I need 4 files from your system/framework folder
telephony-common.jar
telephony-common.odex
com.lge.frameworks.jar
com.lge.frameworks.odex
I will modified them and send you 2 files (DeOdexed)
telephony-common.jar
com.lge.frameworks.jar
You MUST odex them in your phone (this is the only way).
If you know how to do it, ok. If not, send me a pm.
